We act for a wide range of clients including small entrepreneurs/start-ups, hedge funds/private equity and other professional firms, charities and third sector employees, tech companies, manufactures and construction firms as well as large international corporations.
We recognise that the bedrock of every successful business are its people and that maintaining a positive working environment and culture is essential to a profitable business. However, it is often inevitable that grievances, disputes and employment tribunal claims can arise no matter how hard businesses may try to build inclusive and fair working environments.
Our specialist employment team supports businesses on all aspects of contentious and non-contentious employment related issues ranging from day-to-day HR support and advice (including handling of disciplinaries and grievances); helping clients achieve their strategic goals (whether through mergers/acquisitions or downsizing/rationalisations or otherwise), through to advising on the most complex, contentious or potentially reputationally damaging of disputes (be they in the employment tribunals or higher courts).
We have considerable experience in protecting businesses’ goodwill, customer and employee base and ensuring that contracts of employment and policies and procedures are fit for purpose, whilst adhering to the desired cultural or strategic needs.
We are well connected with law firms around the globe so are well positioned to provide advice on employment issues both domestically and internationally, and to provide international helplines where required.
We are also well able to advise on industrial relations disputes and collective negotiations.
